San Cristobal Island Holidays

COVID-19 has transformed how the world works in all kinds of ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to San Cristobal Island:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you want to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.

As restrictions lift and people start flying again, many airlines have implemented policies like social distancing to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. Below are a few excellent examples:

• LATAM Airlines Ecuador - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Avianca - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
